Your flag and my flag, And how it flies todayIn your land and my land And half a world away!Rose-red and blood-red The stripes for ever gleam;Snow-white and souldwhite– The good forefathers’ dream;Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars to gleam aright–The gloried guidon of the day; a shelter through the night.- Wilbur D. Nesbit, “A Song for Flag Day.”
